Security at Prevail

Prevail is SOC 2 Type 2 attested, ISO 27001:2022 certified, and holds federal Authorization to Operate. Alongside those certifications, Prevail follows the C.I.A. triad, applying confidentiality, integrity, and availability to every session and transcript on the platform.

Built on the C.I.A. triad

We ensure all three elements of data security are met: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Confidentiality

Data is only accessible by those granted explicit permission

Integrity

Data is consistent and accurate from conception to destruction

Availability

Users have the right to access their data and can do so at all times

Governed by four foundational principles

Our team works diligently to establish procedures that ensure adherence to industry best practices. Compliance requirements are met and can be confirmed by third-party auditors.

  1. Least privilege

    Access should be restricted to only those with a legitimate need and provided in accordance with the principle of least privilege.

  2. Defense-in-depth & zero trust

    Security measures should include multiple layers and adhere to defense-in-depth and zero-trust principles during implementation.

  3. Consistency

    Consistency in applying security controls should be maintained to ensure uniform implementation throughout all business processes.

  4. Iterative improvement

    An iterative approach should be adopted when implementing controls. This approach ensures continuous development across all areas, enhancing effectiveness, auditability, and usability.

Prevail maintains compliance with the following security assurance frameworks

Data Protection

Data in Transit

The Prevail Platform follows industry best practices to secure data, including encrypting all traffic between user equipment and cloud services, and between individual hosts within cloud services.

Data at Rest

All data stores that house customer data, including Amazon Web Services (AWS) S3 buckets, are encrypted at rest.Prevail employs best practices, including configuration auditing and log auditing, to maintain security. Prevail maintains appropriate, secure, restorable backups of all customer data.

Encryption

Encryption keys are managed via AWS Key Management Service (KMS), which stores key material in Hardware Security Modules (HSMs), preventing direct access by individuals, including Amazon and Vanta employees. Amazon's KMS APIs use the keys stored in HSMs for encryption and decryption.Application secrets are encrypted and securely stored using AWS Secrets Manager and Parameter Store features, and access to these values is strictly limited.

Employee Access & User Access

Employee Access

Employee access to customer data is limited to what is directly needed to provide services for customers. For example, in a Remote Session facilitated by a Prevail Session Manager (SM), the SM will not have access to the Remote Session after it concludes, and can only join directly assigned sessions.Managers and System Administrators have broader access to the extent required by their tasks. Prevail Legal maintains a comprehensive audit trail concerning customer data access to preempt and mitigate potential misuse. All access to customer data and to systems containing customer data is logged and attributable to individual people.

User Access

Prevail follows the best practices outlined in NIST Special Publication 800-63B: Digital Identity Guidelines Authentication and Lifecycle Management. Users authenticating with Prevail servers via an email address and password have Authenticator Assurance Level 1.To reach Assurance Level 2, Prevail supports either direct Multi-Factor Authentication, or federated Single Sign-On with any OAuth2 or SAML-compliant Identity Provider. This feature is available to both Individual and Enterprise Users free of charge. With SSO authentication, Prevail does not access or store any user authentication secrets.

Data Availability

Some Prevail Sessions, such as legal proceedings, are subject to US state and federal rules determining availability. Typically, any participant may obtain a recording or transcript of a session at any time, with fees varying by jurisdiction. Prevail maintains storage of this data for at least seven years unless otherwise specified.

Company Security

Endpoint Protection

Staff with administrative access to systems containing customer data, i.e., staff performing Developer Operations tasks, use dedicated-purpose computers with actively monitored security settings.

Education

Prevail requires recurring security training for all employees.

Access Management

All Prevail staff use Multi-Factor Authentication and Single Sign-On for any access to systems that contain Confidential or Sensitive data. Prevail Legal only grants new employee access after passing a background check, and employee access to customer data is logged. All employee access is revoked upon termination of employment.
